October 23: The Sun enters Scorpio
The Sun joins Mercury and Venus in this strong Water sign, adding to the intensity of these times. You won't feel lukewarm about anything, which makes this a great transit to go all-out for what you want! Just be sure to consider others' needs as well as your own, or you're likely to become embroiled in messy power battles. Scorpio is a sign that loves to merge, so if you can find other people with similar goals, the power of two -- or three, or more -- will push you further than you'd make it on your own.
October 26: New Moon in Scorpio
Money is a big topic during this new Moon cycle, so plan on having a few financial discussions. The Sun and Moon oppose retrograde Jupiter in money-focused Taurus, while also forming a trine with powerful Pluto in achievement-oriented Capricorn. With everything happening today, practicality is the key word. Given the Venus-Mars square in this picture, don't expect everyone to be in agreement. Few signs are as intensely driven and powerful as Scorpio, so use this time to put everything you've got into furthering your goals and dreams. Work hard and exercise patience now, for at next month's full Moon, you'll have a chance to stand back and take a look at all you've accomplished!
October 26: Venus squares Mars
Whenever these two relationship planets, Venus (attraction) and Mars (desire), engage in a square aspect, someone is conflicted. Maybe it's you. Venus shows us our attractions, and when it's in super-intense Scorpio, we're drawn to people we view as deep and mysterious. Sometimes the person you like is not necessarily the person you desire -- it's just one of life's odd conundrums! This square can spice things up or cause problems; you're sure to see the direction in which it's leading you by the end of the week.
October 28: Jupiter trines Pluto
This aspect last occurred on July 7, when Jupiter had just entered Taurus. Now that this big planet is retrograde, these two connect once again, returning you to people who are ready to help you; take this opportunity to get a leg up the ladder in your business ventures. As you advance your plans, remember that since Jupiter is retrograde, you're laying the groundwork now for future success, so don't get pushy with anything -- patience and thoroughness are your friends right now. Perhaps most importantly, believe in yourself and others will, too!
October 28: The Sun opposes Jupiter and sextiles Pluto
The Sun connects with the powerful Jupiter-Pluto trine, so be sure to take full advantage of this powerful aspect! Oppositions such as the current Sun-Jupiter placement (which always takes place approximately two months into Jupiter's retrograde cycle) give us the chance to stand back and reflect, so take time to consider what's happened over the last few months. There are probably things you thought would come about, but didn't; at the same time, it's likely that ideas you hadn't previously considered now seem viable. People in influential positions can -- and will -- help you, so now is the time to showcase your confidence and talents! (Note that Jupiter turns direct on December 25.)
October 31: Venus squares Neptune
Earlier this month, when Venus in Libra trined Neptune, your heart opened up to new possibilities. Now Venus is in sensitive Scorpio, and no matter how much you want to connect deeply with someone, you'll need to be extra-cautious since certain people are not always who they seem to be! When Venus meets spiritual, idealistic Neptune in a square aspect, people often experience difficulty determining the difference between fantasy and reality.

Hello again, all my Astro-Bloggers. I thought I would share with you
what Astrologer, Henry Seltzer, at ASTROGRAPH.COM has to say about our...October 19, Last Quarter Moon.
"The Last Quarter Moon taking place on Wednesday, October 19, represents a time of contemplation, a pause amidst the maelstrom of events and realizations that have been the norm over the past three weeks of this powerful cycle.
This phase of the lunation cycle is a time when we take stock of what has been occurring in our lives and attempt to make sense of it all, distilling what we can into the seed of wisdom with which we begin the next cycle, kicked off by the Scorpio New Moon later in the month.
Meanwhile, Uranus and Pluto remain within a few degrees of a perfect square with each other, and Jupiter retrogrades into aspect with first Pluto and then Uranus before turning to direct motion in late December.
As Jupiter moves into a trine with Pluto, the Sun and Moon positively aspect Neptune, currently in the last degrees of Aquarius, bringing a strong hit of idealism into the picture.
Mars is also emphasized in this configuration by its aspects from Mercury and Venus, as he makes a sesquiquadrate to both Uranus and Pluto, highlighting the concept of action as well as of contemplation.
At this important juncture, the Sun and Moon, in square with each other, occupy the 27th degree of Libra and of Cancer respectively. The Sabian symbols for these degrees are revealing: ”An airplane hovering in the clear sky” and, for the Moon, ”A storm in a canyon.” Marc Edmond Jones gives as his keyword for the first symbol Reflection, while Dane Rudhyar speaks of Transcendent Realization, and indeed it is time and past time to think our way through the crisis of the present moment.
Only by an increase in consciousness will the future be saved. The concentration of energy represented by the second symbol of a storm flooding through a narrow canyon speaks to the intensity of these climactic days leading up to 2012. Our actions need to count now for the leisure of hesitation is rapidly passing.
These ideas apply to the transformation of the collective that we live in, as the Uranus-Pluto square nears its first exact completion – in of next year – and to our personal lives as well. We are on the cusp of change, as a society and as individual members of that society, and our actions must be carefully considered for they are crucial to the eventual outcome that we seek.
Gandhi perhaps said it best, and it rings even truer today: Be yourself the change that you look for in the world around you, and do not vacillate or wait for someone else to take up the challenge"
I thought this might give you some food for thought!
We sure have had some more than unusual planetary aspects lately. And I will be back to give you more information on what you can..

| This interesting week gets going with a feisty Aries full Moon on October 11, and as much as you'll want to pay attention to your own needs at this time, you'll need to consider others' desires as well. As Mercury enters problem-solving Scorpio on October 13, you're set to discover valuable new information; meanwhile, the Sun-Saturn conjunction later that same day provides serious energy! Then, on October 14, your relationships get a second look as Venus opposes Jupiter |
October 11: Full Moon in Aries No matter what you want, you'll have to contend with the wishes of others since the Libra Sun and authoritative Saturn oppose this spunky Aries full Moon. Full Moons always trigger emotions, and in this warrior sign, you're likely to feel especially combative. Just keep in mind that if you can tap into your power and passion, you'll be able to move mountains! Focus on strengthening your relationships to further your own aims, while also advocating for others... as well as yourself ... so you can create win-win situations.
October 13: Mercury enters Scorpio
When Mercury enters the sign that loves to probe beneath the surface more than any other, it's like having a private detective at your disposal! No matter what you need to figure out, you'll have the power to acquire supremely helpful information now. Remember, however, that no matter how deeply and passionately you feel during this transit, everyone else is bound to feel just as strongly as you do, so be sure to leave room in your conversations for all points of view. In general, this is a fabulous placement for research, writing or meditation.
October 13: The Sun conjuncts Saturn
This conjunction was prominent in the Aries full Moon two days ago, so you've already experienced the Saturnine influence this week. In fact, this is reality-check time, so anything you haven't yet faced is bound to appear on your radar screen now. You'll be asked to stand in your authority, so do realize that plenty of
rewards await down the road if you step up now! Align yourself with those who have clout and the ability to help you. This is an important new cycle -- take advantage of it and you'll be sure to profit.
October 14: Venus opposes Jupiter
When Venus in Scorpio opposes Jupiter in Taurus, you'll feel compelled to weigh the costs and benefits of your most important relationships. Since you're looking for a way to balance your need to follow your own path with your desire for togetherness, this placement is about either coming together or realizing that, philosophically or socially, you're at opposite ends of the see-saw. Either way, you're examining the pleasure principle ... and whether or not it's in your life! Also remember that because money signs are in play here, this is a good time to assess your spending habits.

Feeling a little self righteous lately?
You can just... Blame it on the Stars!
What is happening Monday, Oct. 3, 2011, to make you overdo it with your lofty opinion is...the planet Mars and the Planet Jupiter, in a negative aspect! Having its effect on all of us, Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday. But applying its negative energy the most to the Fixed signs of... Leo, Aquarius, Taurus and Scorpio.
The best way to cope, is to guard against that tendency to overdo in all areas. And realize that what seems so important to you now, can change a lot in a few days. So slow down, and count to ten before you act, and react to what is coming at you.
Tuesday morning EST, is a time also when extra cautious in how you are dealing with your finances and loved ones is very important! A sobering moon in Capricorn, can have the tendency to make us gloomy and restrained to the point where decisions made in the morning hours of Wednesday, could come back to haunt you?
Aren't you just being too negative! Or could you be taking on, more of something, than you are really, prepared for?
Wednesday Oct 5, stirs things up with the moons entrance into Aquarius, giving us a desire to escape routine. Lifting our spirits.
Being more flexible is good, but easier said than done...with trends started Wednesday night, that could be difficult to handle all day on Thursday.
Thursday evening the moon's favorable aspect to the planet of communication Mercury, can help you to clear up those snarled communication, and finally make, those emotional, financial, decisions!
And Friday October 7, is my pick of the week for best day of the week to feel good, and be creatively imaginative, and intuitive.
Yes, thinking out of the box on Friday, can bring an out of the blue stroke of luck!
Just in time to liven up your weekend! Enjoy!
